Compiling Lilypond-2.6.0 On Gentoo
Hi All, I am eager to give Lilypond-2.6.0 a try! However, on my Gentoo box, I get the following error during the compile: mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=laserjet; nonstopmode; input feta11.mf; This is METAFONT, Version 2.71828 (Web2C 7.5.4) kpathsea: Running mktexfmt mf.base tcfmgr: config file `tcfmgr.map' (usually in $TEXMFMAIN/texconfig) not found. fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found. I can't find the base file `mf.base'! make[1]: *** [out/feta11.tfm] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/portage/lilypond-2.6.0/work/lilypond-2.6.0/mf'make: *** [all] Error 2 I did a bit of searching around, and it seems that there are a few other gentoo users with a similar error (albeit on an earlier version of lilypond - 2.5.2: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90334 ). It seems to be related to tetex, but I do have the latest gentoo version installed (3.0-r2). However, I also see that I can do a: make -C mf get-pfa that appears to download and extract pretraced fonts from an rpm package. Cool. But, after the above make (apparently successfully), I follow it up with a 'make all' and still run into the same error as above. So, could anyone shed some light on the original error; or perhaps explain how the 'get-pfa' option should be used. Thanks very much for you help, and for a great program!

Re: Compiling Lilypond-2.6.0 On Gentoo
If this list allows .tar.bz2 attachments, you could try unpacking the attachment into your $PORTDIR_OVERLAY directory. It adds ebuilds for the correct versions of mftrace and fontforge, so it should help resolve any dependency problems.

I believe I am using the same versions of mftrace and fontforge as you have so kindly provided me with. I suspect the problem may be an environmental variable of some sort. Nonetheless, I'll give these ebuilds a go and see how things progress. Thanks again, Scott ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Compiling Lilypond-2.6.0 On Gentoo
If you are going to be building the documentation on Gentoo (i.e. you have doc in your USE variable) it is almost imperative that you use a version of Guile newer than the latest stable -- use a CVS snapshot of the development branch, and you get Han-Wen's garbage-collection patches. What I wound up doing was the following (as root): ***WARNING: UGLY HACKS*** 1. cd ~ 2. wget ftp://ftp.dt.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de/pub/guile/snapshots/guile-core.unstable.tar.gz 3. tar xzf guile-core.unstable.tar.gz 4. tar czf guile-1.7.2.tar.gz guile-core.unstable* 5. mv guile-1.7.2.tar.gz /usr/portage/distfiles 6. mkdir -p $PORTDIR_OVERLAY/dev-util/guile/ 7. cd $PORTDIR_OVERLAY/dev-util/guile 8. cp /usr/portage/dev-util/guile-1.6.8.ebuild ./guile-1.7.2.ebuild 9. edit guile-1.7.2.ebuild. Add dev-libs/gmp to the DEPEND var. Remove the line that patches in case of GCC 4.0 (unless you are running GCC 4, in which case you'll have to figure out how to modify the patch yourself) 10. ebuild guile-1.7.2.ebuild digest 11. emerge guile 12. cd $PORTDIR_OVERLAY/media-sound/lilypond 13. edit lilypond-2.6.0.ebuild. In the src_install function, comment out the entire if use doc; block. 14. ebuild lilypond-2.6.0.ebuild digest 15. mkdir -p /var/tmp/portage/lilypond-2.6.0/work 16. USE=doc FEATURES=keepwork emerge lilypond 17. mkdir -p /usr/share/doc/lilypond; cd /usr/share/doc/lilypond 18. tar xzf /var/tmp/portage/lilypond-2.6.0/work/lilypond-2.6.0/out-www/web.tar.gz I'm sure there are better ways of doing this but this was my quick dirty method. Building of documentation proceeded at a very nice pace, and didn't crash like it has been doing for the last month or so. This should also help users who are building massive documents with lilypond-book. I sure hope the Gentoo team supports this stuff without my hacks soon... but that's unlikely since they seem to be stalled on creating an ESP Ghostscript 8.15rc3 ebuild. And forget about Guile CVS... development and release of Guile seems to happen at a snail's pace, and I don't think anyone other than Han-Wen has placed any importance on the GC portion of Guile. We are *so* spoiled with the pace of Lilypond development! --Daniel Joe Neeman wrote: If this list allows .tar.bz2 attachments, you could try unpacking the attachment into your $PORTDIR_OVERLAY directory.
